Still Flipping Out + COERCED: Mandy Matney on the Death of Mica Francis Miller & the case against JP Miller

[upbeat music] And we're back.

So we had some really sad news tonight as well, and I wanted to mention this because I think this show meant so much to, uh, a certain demographic, like it did to me, and that show was Saved by the Bell.

And we had news tonight that Principal Richard Belding, or Dennis Haskins, the actor who portrayed Principal Richard Belding on Saved by the Bell, has passed away at the age of 75.

Um, listen, his agent, Jay Schachter, says, "It's a tragic loss.

Everyone loved Mr. Belding, and those of us who got to know Dennis loved him even more.

He was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely loved his fans.

He always had time for them no matter what.

He was my client and dear friend for over 20 years.

I will miss him terribly." Um, now, Saved by the Bell started in the late '80s and went into the '90s, had multiple iterations.

Um, Screech, the actor Screech, D- or Dustin Diamond, the actor who played Screech, he passed away, I believe, over a decade ago.

Um, but Mr. Belding passed away at 75.

I once ran into him at, uh, Runyon Canyon hiking, and I tripped, and he, like, he kinda, like, reached out his arm to me, and I rem- and I remember going, "Oh, thanks," and looking up, and it was Principal Belding.

And I was like, "Whoa!" And, uh, I think I had that shocked reaction, which, uh, I think he chuckled at because so many people probably had a similar reaction bumping into him.

I think we all have good memories of the, the bumbling principal.

Um, we had so many just fond memories of that show and of all of the people on that show.

Now, the actress who played Lisa Turtle, uh, Lark Voorhies, wrote this on her Instagram tonight: "Knowing De- Dennis Haskins for almost 40 years has been one of the truest blessings of my life, which makes losing him hurt so deeply.

We shared so much history together from our earliest days, and through it all he remained a fabulous person, a loyal friend, and someone with such a kind, gentle heart.

I am truly heartbroken by his passing and will miss his warmth and laughter more than words can say.

Rest in peace, Dennis.

You will always hold a special place in my heart." Which I thought was a beautiful memorial of him by, uh, by Lisa Turtle.

So, uh, rest in peace to Dennis Haskins.
